Definitely. But I think they're gonna end up trying to market it to younger audiences.

I agree that it will most likely be in a daytime slot. While violence wise it may be a bit over the top, it would be pretty much suicide to do it at late night since that would effectively mean marketing it to otaku who would likely have very little interest in that kind of show. Even worse if the goal is to animate all the individual arcs.

That being said I don't think it;ll end up being as edited as Toriko(not unless Toei does it). Hunter X Hunter 2011 is a pretty good example of being able to get away with some heavy handed violence in a morning slot. Though personally I would hope it;s a primetime show since it could get away with a bit more while still airing during the day.

You're definitely on the money. Hopefully they follow Hunter X Hunter 2011's example on how they should do things. If people want it uncensored, then they'll probably uncensored it for home releases.

Interesting staff...neither director seems to have done much so I;m kinda curious as to how it'll turn out on that end. Also not that familar with David productions since they only work of their's I;ve seen is Level E which they co-produced with Pierrot.

My biggest question though would be the episode count. Since MBS seems to be the main broadcaster I;m guessing it;s a late night anime but that seems a bit weird if the eventual goal is to animate everything up to part 8. Guess we'll see how it goes.

Their productions have been pretty decent(and ocasionally, awesome i.e Level E) but they've never done such a long production like Jojo. I'm only assuming that, of course, but it seems likely if they are going to adapt all parts.

No way it's a long series if it's going to air on MBS, Tokyo MX, and a bunch of other stations at once. It's more likely that they're just doing Phantom Blood as a 1-cour series, and they'll probably want to see if anyone actually wants more before they consider making more seasons. Which means... Phantom Blood is probably all we're getting. Lol.

Another Zetman incoming
At the very least we should get Battle Tendency adaptation too, goddammit.

Btw if its Kuroko's basketball replacement, that slot kinda promising for chance we can get multiple sequel.

If it's 1-cour I think we might just get Phantom Blood, which would be bullshit. If it's 2-cour we might indeed get Battle Tendency as well, which would probably be what most people want at least.

As far as David Production goes, I don't think it's a bad thing. Definitely not "oh noes it's DEEN aaaaaaaaaah!" or whatever. It's not automatically a good thing though, since it's not a particularly experienced studio so we don't know what to expect exactly. But can be exciting too.

I just realized yesterday that I read about David Production doing the Baby Superman pilot and series for Warner , directed by Toshiaki Hontani, some time back. I had totally forgotten about it, but it's a pretty interesting coincidence that their next big series is now a Warner Japan production. Or maybe... that isn't a coincidence at all.

Could Battle Tendency even be done in 1 cour? I could see Phantom Blood going either way between 1 cour or 2 cour since it starts off pretty slow but Battle Tendency jumps into things a bit faster and it's longer than Phantom Blood. Well since we don;t really know what the main plan is regarding anything past part 1 it;s just speculation but personally I think Battle Tendency would have to be 2 cour to be done right.

Ideally, Phantom Blood should be less than 1-cour if they actually plan on doing Battle Tendency as well. It really doesn't need a full page-by-page adaptation, and I think most people really view it as a long lead-in to Battle Tendency anyway. 10 episodes for Phantom Blood and 16 episodes for Battle Tendency should be enough imo.

Ideally, it should go like, ep 1: The Sad Youth of Jonathan, with introduction of the Mask, up to the establishing character moment for Dio with Danny. End ep 1 with teenage Jonathan. Ep 2: Dad's illness, meeting Speedwagon. Ep 3: Confronting Dio then shit hit the fan. Ep 4: Hamon. The rest should be the rest of the arc.
